Disneyland Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
Directed into a spot near toward the back corner of the Pixar Pals Parking Structure. The new garage seems dark, even during the day.
Work is nearing completion on the Mickey and Friends parking structure projects. The second elevator shaft is mostly covered and the metal mesh and other decorative elements have been added to the side facing the tram plaza.
Just the portion around the ground level is left to cover.
From ground level.
Looks like they are preparing to move the fences.. the protective cover on the pavers is removed and the area looks cleaned up .
The new on the left and old on the right.
Security and the trams were slow today.. this picture is almost 25 minutes after the previous one from the parking structure. First stop for me today Disney California Adventure.

Paradise Bay this afternoon. Guess they do not fully submerge the projector housings anymore.
Only the upstairs portion of the Lamplight Lounge was open this afternoon.

Next up a spin on the Pixar Pal-A-Round. It was posted at 20 minutes and took about that today.

It has been a while since I had an elevated view of the Avengers Campus work. Here is a look from the Pixar Pal-A-Round.
A closer look across the site starting on the left and working to the right.

On the south side panels are starting to be added.
Time for Star Tours. New destinations have been added from the Rise of Skywalker. Right now every flight includes them.

Almost 10 minutes from entering the queue till I was waiting to board.
Just over 20 minutes from entering queue until reaching the gift shop.

Passing through the Backlot area
Plenty of queue space set up for the Hollywood Lounge
Stage 17 is quiet.
Five and Dime performs right before the tree lighting moment. It would have been nice if they were part of the tree lighting.
The festival corridor had a lot of guests moving around.
The Avengers Campus work from Cars Land.
From ground level you can see steel rising up behind Luigis. It is hard to tell, wonder if this structure is rising on the space where the fans used to be for the original attraction?
A closer look
They were re-arranging the cousins on the dance floor. So the attraction was temporarily closed.

A Sprite Droid cart on a resupply mission talking to the Coke Droid cart.
This was my first time seeing the Sprite one, I missed it last visit.
It was interesting walking through the Disneyland version after visiting the WDW one last week. For example this area features quite a few more tables and less walking space.
All quiet at Rise of the Resistance. Less than a month until the crowds will arrive. (It opens January 17th)
The Columbia was sailing by to get into position for Fantasmic later this evening.
The Mark Twain Riverboat was repositioning too.
The resupply carts in New Orleans Square are not nearly as interesting as in Galaxy's Edge

Found a spot on Main Street for the 8:30pm Wintertime Enchantment moment
Still miss the white lights on the garland and tree for the finale
In the middle of the moment they decided to move two carts through the crowd. Why not wait literally 2 minutes until the snow was done falling and lights were back to normal?
Disneyland wait times at 8:33pm
Disney California Adventure wait times at 8:42pm
Found a stand by spot for World of Color - Season of Light
Goofy Decorating segment is always a crowd pleaser. I left shortly after this to make it back to Disneyland for Believe in Holiday Magic.
Great to see no delays entering Disneyland.
On Main Street USA and in a spot 3 minutes before show time.
Right at 9:30 they played a message saying due to winds at higher elevation the show was cancelled.. no delays this evening. In its place they ran a special Wintertime Enchantment and White Christmas.
Video - Wintertime Enchantment & White Christmas replacement for cancelled Believe in Holiday Magic performance.
This evening they were utilizing the queue approach for the trams. I got in line at 9:40pm
9:50pm my tram pulled in. They were not counting well and I had to wait for the 2nd tram to pull into the zone (after the waiting one left). On past visits they were holding the queue so you only had to wait one tram.
10:01 back in the parking structure, so 20 min from entering queue. A look at the 4th floor new elevator work.
